Question

The Mendel Lab has it's goals to teach you about how the information in DNA is inherited to offspring from 2 sexually reproducing parents. A key concept Mendel birthed was the ability to manipulate sexual reproduction to alter future variation of offspring. This changed 12,000 years of "farming" as we knew it.

Because of Mendel, Science now understands that Evolution by Natural Selection can be changed or redefined to Evolution by Artificial Selection that was historically called "farming". Outside of farming it is a purely random process of natural selection. Nature does its thing as discussed in class. Farming and now Biotechnology is a planned process of controlling which parents alleles' can mix and be inherited. Context is important; the word "natural" does not mean "better" over "artificial". Answer:

1) Biotechnology either called GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) or also called Transgenic Organism is any organism bread into existence via Artificial Selection through "farming practices". The last 12,000 yrs of Farming still carried a randomness of slowing selecting offspring compared to modern Biotechnology like GMO that only changes one gene or allele at a time in a single generation.

Explain how the power of Biotechnology is like a mutation. There is a single introduction of new DNA so the only change in the offspring is what?

Explanation / Answer

Since mutation is a transmissible change in the genetic make of an organism and the techniques of Biotechnology are being used to:

All these methods bring about a change in the genes of an organism, hence they are like mutations.
